Domains:

a: archea

b: bacteria

e: eukarya

Definition: A group of single-celled microorganisms that are similar to bacteria but genetically distinct, often found in extreme environments such as hot springs and salt lakes. They are known for their unique metabolic pathways and cell membrane composition, which differ from those of true bacteria.

Fill in the blank: __________ are a type of microorganism that thrive in extreme environments and have distinct genetic and metabolic characteristics compared to true bacteria.

domain archaebacteria/archae

Definition: A diverse group of single-celled microorganisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, characterized by their prokaryotic cell structure. They can be found in various environments and play essential roles in processes such as decomposition, nitrogen fixation, and human health.

Fill in the blank: __________ is a domain of life that consists of prokaryotic organisms known for their diverse metabolic pathways and ecological significance.

domain bacteria

Definition: The ________ is one of the three domains of life, characterized by organisms that have complex cells with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. This domain includes a diverse range of life forms such as animals, plants, fungi, and protists.

Domain Eukarya

Kingdoms

p: Plantae

p: protista

f: fungi

a: anamalia

Definition: The ________ is a major group of living organisms that are primarily characterized by their ability to perform photosynthesis, have cell walls made of cellulose, and reproduce through various methods, including seeds and spores. This kingdom includes a diverse range of plants, from mosses and ferns to flowering plants and trees.

Kingdom Plantae

Definition: A diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that are primarily unicellular or multicellular without specialized tissue. They can be autotrophic or heterotrophic and live in aquatic or moist environments. This kingdom includes algae, protozoa, and slime molds, playing significant roles in ecosystems as primary producers and decomposers.

Kingdom Protista

This kingdom consists of multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophic, typically reproduce sexually, and are capable of movement at some stage of their life cycle. Includes a diverse range of organisms such as mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects. Members of this kingdom play various roles in ecosystems, from predators to prey, and contribute to biodiversity.

Kingdom anamalia

Definition: A major group of eukaryotic organisms that includes yeasts, molds, and mushrooms. They are characterized by their cell walls made of chitin and their ability to absorb nutrients through external digestion. Members of this group play vital roles in decomposition and nutrient cycling in ecosystems. They reproduce via spores and can be unicellular or multicellular.
